Description

macOS 15 introduces a new privacy prompt for Local Network Access.
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to check if the user has already granted or denied access to Local Network.

Being able to check access is very important in providing the best possible user experience in an app.
If a user has denied access, we need to be able to provide that information and provide instructions on how to enable access back.
